Background: RR interval variations lead to beat-to-beat blood pressure differences through the myocardial force-interval relationship (FIR). In sinus rhythm, an altered FIR leads to post-extrasystolic potentiation (PESP) of systolic blood pressure, which has been shown to predict adverse outcome in survivors of acute myocardial infarction (MI). The purpose of this study was (1) to develop a parameter to assess the FIR in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and (2) to investigate its association with mortality in MI survivors suffering from AF. Methods and results: Thirty-two patients with acute MI and AF underwent 30-min recordings of ECG and continuous blood pressure. Episodes of a short RR interval (< 80% of mean interval, RR
